We commenced the day with Stu and boys at the house. A fantastic house filled with white walls everywhere, a photographer’s dream.

Stu looking serious, contemplative and very handsome all at the same time.

And our merry men (hello Myles)

The lady of the moment was waiting for me. Putting her best foot forward…

Oh Ness, you look so fantastic.

And born to be in sepia.

The ceremony held in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens.

One happy Stu. A beautiful, simple and emotional ceremony.

Cue for me to start crying…

LOVELY!

Ness’ proud Dad.

We walked through the gardens stopping here and there for some photos as we all made our way on foot to the Tattersals Club.

My light had departed, but I LOVE to take pictures of people at night.

Our fantastic supporting cast, willing to go into any dodgy looking alley way for a photo.

This picture reminds me of the cast of Dynasty… Very dramatic.

Loving both these shots.

After a brilliant reception featuring a fantastic rendition of “You’ve lost that loving feeling” Stu and Ness honeymooned in Greece. Lucky things. An amazing day for two incredible people CLEARLY completely and UTTERLY in love.

Welcome to the Epic weddings of Huong and Matthew. We commenced our huge day at Huong’s parents house for a traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony. The first of our two nuptials. Huong was dazzling in her red and gold silk outfit. Topped off with her fabulous (and heavy) traditional head wear.

And a rocking pair of red heels.

The girls were cool as with loads of laughing filling the house. Huong just shines in front of the camera.

The ceremony began with Huong’s parents welcoming all of Matthew’s family into their home and they had many, many offerings for the Bride and her family.

Huong’s beautiful Mother accepting her tea.

And the Groom wore blue. I must say it was a first for me, but Matthew totally pulled it off!

The boys were hilarious and worked their “Kung Fu” moves.

After much feasting, we started to prepare for the second ceremony at Brisbane Boys Grammar Chapel. Huong helped the boys prepare.

So cute.

Huong made a quick change into her divine dress from Darb Couture. Just stunning.

Shining again.

Matthew … waiting patiently

No detail was overlooked in this day, I loved the Usher’s folder of things to do. Organised ladies are fabulous.

My absolute favorite shot of the day below.

The ceremony was conducted by Father Huong… we all had a giggle at this.

After lots of congratulating and family photos we headed off to the Botanic Gardens and The Kangaroo Point Cliffs for some photos.

Great jumping everyone.

Around 15 hours later it was time for the Bridal waltz. We were treated to amazing choregraphed number from the entire bridal party. Stamina!!

Huong and Matthew, what an amazing way to start your journey together. Everyone was so welcoming and we felt part of the family by the end of the night. The warmest of wishes to you both for a long and happy life together..

Yes ladies, THIS is a dress, an amazing one with each little square of tulle sown on individually.

Shari, you are a dream to photograph.

One of my very favorite shots below.

Shari’s Mum Dianne was just the sweetest, making sure we had everything we needed, pressing dresses, feeding everyone all while crying at every opportunity. So proud of her stunning girl.

We headed over to the Oxley Golf Club to catch up with Ben and the lads and “Chief”. Looking every part the page boy in his little tux. He even carried the rings, clever boy.

Shari just beamed down the aisle with her proud folks.

The ceremony was looked after by celebrant Anne Campbell.

Oh we are married!! Yes!!

A shot I love with both Mum’s.

We headed off with the threat of a huge thunderstorm approaching to grab some location moments on the golf course.

So in love.

A very cool and unusual cloud.

The ladies.

Ben and Shari, thank you. An amazing day for you both and your families. Such a fun and stunning couple!

See you soon, x Denise (photographer who misses her dog)

Adam, looking every bit the Italian Stallion.

The boys had a little flutter and I found the evidence on the coffee table. Hope he didnt bet the rings on No. 3 in the 3rd.

Meanwhile Sammy our gorgeous fillie, was over with her ladies gearing up for the ride of her life. Above is the workings of one of the most beautiful speeches to a husband I have ever heard.

Sammy is just a divine lady, and looked like an angel today.

An angel with spunk!

Beautiful Corpus Christi at Nundah was the venue for our fab couple.

Sam is the picture of a bride, so very gorgeous and on the arm of her very proud father.

Such a beautiful ceremony with a few laughs thrown in for good measure.

A perfect day awaited us for some location photos, a few gorgeous clouds in the sky set the scene for our next stop at Brisbane’s grooviest club Cloudlands.

Wow, everywhere you look in here is just another masterpiece but nothing could overshadow our Bride and Groom.

These two cant keep their eyes of each other.

After a little run and champange in the park we headed over to Rydges at Southbank with a perfect view for a perfect evening.

And some hillarious “horse filled” speeches.

Sammy gave the speech of her life to Adam and there was not a dry eye in the house. A heartfelt moment to top off their fabulous day racing into each others arms. Congratulations to you both, what a great time we had, it was an incredible start to a beautiful marriage. All bets are off now, Adam and Sam are a sure thing.

Aldwin, looking very dapper(still love your shirt!) and showing off the new rings. Ladies, another reason to renew your vows!

And here is our gorgeous Maree, what an incredible joy she is to photograph.

And some lovely moments with her Mum and family before the short stroll to the beach.

You see, even the celebrant was crying. A beautiful moving ceremony.

A little cuddle from Maree’s nephew Jasper. So cute.

He loves her so much, I just stood there in awe all day and just pointed my camera at this perfect union of two awesome people.

Maree making the most of her beautiful dress.

Don’t you drop me!

We headed off to Q1 for the after party. I had to stop in the hallway for this shot.

Aldwin and Maree, thank you. It was an amazing day and I am so privileged to have documented everything for you. You are a testament to what it all should be about. Second time is definitely the best time!

We started very, very early at Michael’s house. Chase, the little darling offered me an iceblock to start my day….It was tempting. Did I mention how cute he is?

Michael looking sharp. Ben you did well too.

We headed over to Rydges at Southbank to see the ladies. Not even a hint of nerves from Elissa who looked very fresh for such an early start.

I couldn’t resist the lamp. Elissa you look amazing. Very Hollywood glamour in the “Marylin” dress.

Oh and here he is over at Mummy’s room ready to steal the show again.

The ceremony was at Mater Hill Holy Trinity. I have always wanted to photograph here and I wasn’t disappointed. But hey if you look at Michael’s face below we could have been in the Sistine Chapel for all her cared. He had eyes only for one thing.

Awwww.

One of Michael’s beautiful Grans and congratulations all around.

Oh hello, who do we have here stealing the limelight. Too cute.

We headed over to Roma Street Parklands for the cocktail reception. We had a little bit of rain but it did nothing to dampen the spirits or the laughs from Vivian (Best lady extraordinaire)

A bit of a groovy red wall.

Now please explain why their is a colourful cake – Mick is a gamer, not just any gamer he is a writer of some very amazing games, and he met Elissa through this. So it is only fitting that Super Mario marry his Princess and have a fab cake.

We had some hilarious speeches form all. This shot below is the reason I photograph, when people are not watching I get to see what really happens, how they interact, how they share their love in their own special little ways, it may be a look or like this the stroke of her hair and you just know.

Or it could be a special dance to seal the deal. Elissa and Michael thank you for coming into my home two years ago and trusting me for this long and letting me give you moments from your amazing day with your amazing little man. I cannot wish enough happiness for you three.

x Denise (photographer who knows 3 is the new black)

Wow. Absolutely stunning. An elegant dress that lets Simone do all of the talking!

We had a heap of fun with Simone and her sister Mel before heading downstairs to the boys.

Hi Jason and Tim.

We left the apartments and took a tiny walk to a beautiful ceremony site on the docks.

A truly perfect day for these two to declare their love.

After many congratulations (always one of my favourite parts of the day) We headed around to the jetty for some shots before heading off to the park and through to some of the glorious Melbourne architecture.

I am always a fan of an old alley way and a sucker for a bit of romance against a brick wall.

Michael took this shot…….I am not saying a word.

My two absolute favourite pictures.

A quick trip and we were back to the water.

Come on get closer

Our destination for the party was back at the docks for a great night.

A fitting last shot for the end of the night with the city lights twinkling in the background and our gorgeous couple. Thank you so much for inviting us down it was an amazing experience and a magical setting for two great people.

Good Morning KAROLINE!

The ladies. I am still in awe of Karoline!

We love the fan…It goes with your beautiful pink dress. I left the girls to check on Jack over at Hillstone St Lucia

Good Morning JACK – It will be Ok.

And here she comes.

Such a nice ceremony conducted by a very warm and happy Pastor Robin who had us all laughing.

I think these would have to be my two favorite pictures. I love and I mean I really love seeing the way a man can look at a woman and say nothing but its all in his eyes and expression. Jack is a man of few words but I think these two pictures capture the total adoration he has for her.

Now KISS!

The lovely Josie.

Mop and Pop

We headed over to University of Queensland for some quick location photos.

There is that look again from Jack.

Never leave your bike around with no lock on it because you never know what crazy photographer like me is around to make it her new toy. I did return it I promise. Jack, Karoline a beautiful day, thank you so much. I really feel apart of the family and it was so lovely to be at the reception as well to hear all the stories and well wishes. A thousand well wishes from us. You are always such a pleasure.

x Denise – Photographer totally in love with looks of love

Dimitri looking sharp and below with his lovely Dad giving him a few words of advice…Which I won’t repeat here.

We left the boys as they were inundated with visitors before the ceremony and headed over to Vanessa’s family home. I love this shot of the dress with one of Vanessa’s relatives guarding it.

Now I saw Vanessa tonight and can I say she looks like this all the time. Completely stunning night or day. Dimitri even told me she wakes up like this. You are a lucky man.

And what a gorgeous gown, so different, feminine and fun. It kind of sums up Vanessa completely.

Oh I love this picture. So fabulous to photograph.

Our first ceremony was at St Brigid’s Catholic Church in Red Hill.

I thought the priest was looking for a bit of divine guidance here.

Vanessa’s grandparents and Father below.

We moved on to our next celebration at the Greek Orthodox Church St George at West End. WOW.

Dimitri looking super happy and so is Father Anastasios.

I couldn’t help but take this photo, such stunning work and detail.

We took some beautiful couple shots around the church before heading off to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs for some chill out time and a few more shots. These guys are just so relaxed with each other.

And this would be without a doubt my favorite picture. Summing up the very passionate and beautiful relationship they have, and two ceremonies to prove it! Vanessa and Dimitri continued their celebrations at Hillstone St Lucia. Thank you for letting me capture this incredible celebration.

The boys were on hand to help Mum get ready. She needs no help lads, take a look.

Kirsty you look incredible. I left the girls and the little boys to see how the big boys were going in the heat.

Ian looking sharp and maybe a little bit nervous.

This is such a beautiful moment, Kirsty was so cool and calm and then she saw Ian and burst into tears.

We are family.

We had a wander over to the old dairy on the property for some photos.

Gosh it is just a magical setting, made for a bride and groom.

I had to stop and say hello to some old friends.

Look at these two.

Guys,  Mickey and I had a fantastic day celebrating with you (and into the night). It was incredible to see your bond grow even stronger, even if the flies were trying to carry you away! Seriously we wish you many more years of happiness and a safe arrival of your new baby.
